#mill town

January 1941. A textile mill working all night in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Explored Elkin and Mt. Airy NC.

My husband was singing in an open mic in Elkin NC, not far from here, and I decided to go rather spontaneously and we stayed two nights in what used to be the ticket office of the old train station. Very charming. My review is Elkin really fits the bill if you’re someone who watches old movies that depict old small towns and you find them compelling (I am that someone).

The next day we went to Mt. Airy, which is supposedly the model for Mayberry from the Andy Griffith show.

The last pic is an old textile factory.
